“Get Along Little Froggy” (2022) 11” x 14” • Oil on Panel   From the artist: “This painting started off as a fun little break from a much larger, more complicated painting I had been working on at the time. I sketched him out at work and then I went home and started painting him on a bigger surface. He was a painting I was doing just for fun, but it quickly turned into one of my most popular paintings and one of my personal favorites as well.”
